Cougs vs. Lobos

Every other year, we get to go to a BYU game at the University of New Mexico, right here in Albuquerque. This year the score was a little closer than I'd hoped, but the Cougars won, and we had fun going to the game. Poor UNM has had a very disappointing season, and their fan base is severely diminished. I think there were as many BYU fans as UNM fans at that game.




We brought the whole family, and the kids all did pretty well. We were surrounded by lots of other families with kids, so when they got antsy, they mostly just annoyed each other. I was dreading keeping track of Hayden--he is into everything these days and never sits still. But we only lost him once, and the rest of the time, we just had to keep him from mooching our neighbors' nachos. (He likes to lick the cheese off the chip, and then get more cheese on the same slimey chip. gross, I know.)



Go Cougars!

I would say that the Cougars were lucky on this one. We thought of you at the game and looked for you in the crowd on t.v. We had a great time at dinner the other week and are glad that you enjoyed the play!

I saw you at the game...I love going to BYU football games...It's especially fun to go with so many friends and fellow fans. My two oldest boys are so into the game...it's fun to take them. But I have to admit...I didn't brave all five of the kids. They were safely home with two different sitters! I think it wonderful that you went as a family.

I thought of you during the game, since it was near where you live. I didn't know you'd be there or I would've looked for you on tv. You have gorgeous mountains down there too! Go BYU, I'm glad we won! Thank Aho the kicker for us if you see him ;)

So sad we missed it !! We always look forward to the UNM BYU games. Looks like you guys had a blast!! Hayden's face in the last picture is so cute.

That last pic with Arthur holding onto him is hilarious. Hayden LOOKS like he's getting into everything, but still that kid is adorable.

How fun! I'm proud of you for only loosing Hayden "once". ;o) That boy needs one of those little leashes that look like a backpack...we have one...Jemma was tricky to keep track of at that age...aren't they all though!?! Love you guys and can't wait for CHRISTMAS!
